Frequently Asked Questions About PRASX

What does PRASX invest in?

The T. Rowe Price New Asia Fund aims to achieve sustained capital growth over the long term. It does this by primarily allocating its investments to the equity securities of companies either based in or with their main operations in Asian countries, specifically excluding Japan. Typically, a significant portion — at least 80% — of its net assets (which includes any funds borrowed for investment purposes) will be committed to these non-Japanese Asian enterprises. For the purpose of identifying eligible companies to meet this 80% threshold, the fund relies on country classifications provided by independent data sources like MSCI, Inc. or similar unaffiliated providers. It operates as a non-diversified portfolio.
